You will contribute to a pivotal stage of the company, where the work you do will help shape the technology, the product, and ultimately the experience of patients and healthcare providers around the world.\nWhy This Role Matters:\nThis is not just another engineering job-it is an opportunity to shape the future of healthcare. We are gearing up to take our groundbreaking ultrasound prototypes from the lab to the hands of real-world users.\nYou will play a key role in developing the software that enables our technology to function in clinical environments. Working at the intersection of software, hardware, imaging, and healthcare, you will help solve complex engineering challenges that directly influence the performance, usability, and future evolution of our product. This is a highly impactful, hands-on role for an engineer who is motivated by building meaningful technology, solving difficult problems, and contributing to innovations that have the potential to improve patient care.\n\nWho We Are:\nAt Sonus, we believe earlier access to diagnostic insight has the power to change and save lives. We are building the next generation of ultrasound technology to help bring advanced medical imaging beyond the traditional walls of healthcare, expanding how and where critical screening and patient monitoring can take place. Built on years of pioneering research, patented polymer MEMS technology, and advanced AI, our proprietary polymer-based Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasound Transducers (polyCMUTs) unlock capabilities not possible with conventional ultrasound systems. We are not just improving existing technology, but helping redefine the parameters of ultrasound and the role it will play in the future of healthcare.\n\nWhat You Will Do:\nDesign, develop, verify, and integrate software for Sonus’ next-generation ultrasound platform\nContribute to software architecture, module specifications, and technical design decisions in collaboration with systems, hardware, and R&D teams\nDevelop software that supports imaging, visualization, cloud connectivity, and integration with external algorithms and services\nDevelop software that supports R&D teams during characterization and data management.\nIntegrate software with hardware systems and support end-to-end system functionality across the broader product ecosystem\nApply structured software development practices from requirement to validation, including risk management, cybersecurity, reliability, and maintainability considerations\nCollaborate with internal and external stakeholders to deliver software solutions that support current and future product development initiatives\nWhat You Will Bring:\n5+ years experience developing and integrating software with hardware systems\nStrong software development experience using C/C++ and Python\nExperience developing GUIs and 2D/3D rendering\nExperience integrating with cloud-based services and APIs\nFamiliarity with secure software development practices and cybersecurity considerations\nAbility to navigate ambiguity, balance competing stakeholder needs, and collaborate & communicate effectively across multidisciplinary teams\nFamiliarity with modern AI tools and the ability to leverage them effectively to improve engineering productivity, problem-solving, and decision-making\nWhat Will Set You Apart:\nExperience working with medical device software, Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), or similarly regulated products \nFamiliarity with electronic medical record (EMR) systems and healthcare data workflows\nExperience with human factor engineering \nExperience supporting products through verification, validation, and deployment\nWhat’s In It For You:\nYou're joining at a crucial moment in the company’s history: before scale, when the decisions you make stick and have lasting impact on the product, the team, and the company we become.\nFrontier Technology: Work on a platform with no direct commercial equivalent, alongside the researchers who invented it\nFlexibility: High trust, real autonomy, and the flexibility to do your best work\nEquity: Meaningful stock options in an early-stage company with institutional backing \nAgency & Impact: Your decisions and innovations will shape the product, not just inform it\nWe Encourage Diverse Perspectives\nWe believe that varied backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives help us solve complex problems, and recognize that expertise and potential are not always captured by a job description, so if you can help drive our mission forward, we encourage you to apply!\n**Please note that we are not able to provide immigration sponsorship at this time**","description_format":"text","description_chars":4908,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Science & Engineering"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-27T10:24:30Z"}],"liveness":{"score":27,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.485,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":37,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:22","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-01T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sonus-microsystems-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sonus-microsystems-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-01T23:20:17Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"search","counted_by":"address","units_charged":0,"used_today":0,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":null,"resets_at":"2026-10-02T00:00:00Z"}}}
